Knee swelling
I'm a 29 years old female with a height of 5.4 inches and a weight of 51 kg. I've developed a swelling on my right knee (just one knee) all of a sudden. While going to the office, I've to walk around 25 mins to reach my destination. My knee doesn't pain, but when it's swollen, I find it difficult to walk or bear weight on that knee. I visited a doctor here in Melbourne, and he mentioned it's nothing serious. But a swollen knee causes a real discomfort and affects my day-to-day life. I would like to know what could have caused this swelling and how can I get my knee healed completely.
I've attached a picture for your reference. I'd greatly appreciate your help and advice. Please.
Thank you!
